AMPLIFIED IMPACT

Simplify your giving. Amplify your impact. 

Our CFNJ fundholders are motivated to leave meaningful philanthropic legacies that focus on broad issues like education or public safety or specific ones like an animal shelter in Springfield.

No matter their philanthropic goals, we leverage our technical resources, local knowledge, and philanthropic expertise to help them achieve their objectives and leave a lasting legacy.

Recently, our fundholders:

• Rebuilt a ski mountain to provide skiing lessons for kids who lack access to the outdoors in the winter. The fund lent dollars to help the National Winter Activities Center refurbish the former Hidden Valley Ski Resort in Vernon to create the nation’s first nonprofit that supports learn-to-ski mountain activities.

• Secured a spot on the next space mission for an Elizabeth student’s science experiment. The experiment was chosen from hundreds as part of a district-wide science competition sponsored by the fundholder. The competition renewed students’ enthusiasm for science, technology, engineering, and math.

• Started college savings accounts for every public-school kindergarten student in Hopatcong. The fundholder was motivated by studies showing that even small savings accounts dramatically increase the odds a student will someday attend college. The Community Foundation partnered with Investors Bank to analyze and launch the ambitious program.

• Sponsored field trips that will make it possible for thousands of students in underserved communities to visit New Jersey’s arts and cultural sites, historic landmarks, nature preserves, science institutions, and college campuses throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.
